Hi Mari, hey girlfriend, I was just at Home Goods yesterday and didn't see this. What a treasure you found. I did find a cupcake stand, but yours is just beautiful. I love what you did with the paint. It will be so pretty and festive all dressed up with treats during the holidays. Yummy too, Char

WHAAAAAAAA :( We don't have a Home Goods around here, so I can't go get me one.....WHAAAAAAAAA!! Your's looks GORGEOUS my friend, and it's perfect for Miss Rhonda's pretty faux treats. Thanks for sharing this pretty with us!! Can ya say YUMMY!! :)

Hello Mari... oooh, your little cake~cupcake stand is just beautiful!!!... you are so creative and everything you do ends up looking so fabulous!... how fun that you and your mama "dilly dally" around after Sunday mass... love to you... xoxo Julie Marie

I don't think I have ever seen one of these before. I love it and you did a great job painting it. We have a Home Goods and you can always find such pretty and different things there. I just picked up a few Waterford Crystal Ornaments at fantastic prices!Brenda

Just a big hug for Veterans' Day as I just found out how your loved ones contributed to the many freedoms that so many seem to take for granted these days!At least both my husband and I are mighty proud of all those brave men and women!!!

Hi Mari Sweetie...Oh my gosh, I write this through tear stained eyes. I love your little secret, and we just knew, knew, knew that Cindy was still there, just waiting to come back to us. Keep smiling sweet Cindy and moving, we are continuing our conversations with God to bring you back to sweet Mari. She has never given up on you, and our prayers have been many.

Oh Mari. Yes, we are SO thankful. Please, keep me posted sweetie, and I will continue to storm the heavens with prayers. She is going to come back to you. Praise God.

Oh and before I forget, I love this cake stand and what you have done with it. I can't envision the silver at all when I see what a beautiful job you did with the white. You have so many talents sweetie. So many.

Have a gorgeous weekend. Email me with any news please. Here it is:stoneshy@msn.com

Hi Mari,WOW the cake stand is gorgeous. You did a beautiful job of transforming it from silver to this beauty. Love the crystals.What fun you and your mother must have shopping after church. Girls after my own heart!!You have inspired me to make a run over to Home Goods. I always find something great there too.

Thank you for stopping by and your kind words. Blessings to your kids who have served in the military too. They are to be honored.Hugs, Celestina Marie

Oh I am so in love here! this is the most gorgeous cake display stand I've ever laid my eyes on! and you did a fabulous job..i can just picture it in it's run down, and previously pretentious silver colour...but you have given it a much needed update!

great job....and as for the before photos....I forget sometimes too...I just get right into what needs to be done cause I know it will be exciting to have it finished...only to regret the 'before' photo shoot!

oh well....

thanks for sharing!and I think it is so very sweet that you and your mother have such a great relationship! good for you both!xoxo

Oooh, That is adorable !!! You did a great job transforming it. I have one kinda like that, just the center part and not the little stands all around, but ran out of crystals to hang on it, so I am inspired by yours and will put swags around and then I wont need as many crystals !! :) I will have to send you a picture when I am done :) I have your wee plate with the stand listed in my shop if you still want it. If you dont or want me to hold it longer that is fine. :) Happy Weekend sweet girl !! :) Hugs :) :)

ps, My Mom and I go "Running" that is what we call our shopping sprees, lol !! She will call and say, lets go runnin' tomorrow :)

Hi Sweet Mari:I LOVE this....amazing transformation! Our Home Goods had these too and I know what "ugly" silver you are taking about LOLSo sweet that you go to Mass and then shop with your mom. I bet we will be seeing plenty of pretties coming up for the holidays from you!xoRoselle

Hi Mari! Your cake/cupcake stand turned out sooo beautiful! I don't know where you are on Long Island, but I just discovered the Home Goods in Commack, and so far it's the best I've been in. Usually I go to the one in Syosset, but Commack is AMAZING! Have a fun Sunday with your mom tomorrow! ;) Paulette

Mari, I just love this! Can you believe I have never been to Home Goods! I am going now. thanks for stopping! The first time I ever did velvet embossing was for a Girl Scout project....100 years ago!LOL

Hi Mari, Girl, you remind me of Sweet Tanza in so many ways. Anyways, I do the same thing getting the piece the way I want it and sometimes don't even bother to get the before shot. I really like your cake stand and with the added sparkles to it of course.
